5 AMAZING WAYS TO USE OIL IN YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE


5 Amazing Ways to Use Oil in Your Beauty Routine

by  for Thrive Market
Sometimes the best beauty treatments are the simplest—a  one-ingredient facial or DIY toner can be surprisingly effective.
That's why one of our favorite beauty treatments is oil. Before there were expensive creams and over-the-top serums, people were using natural plant oils to keep their skin silky smooth and moisturized. Ready up on a few of our favorite beauty hacks using oils.
1. Face Rejuvenator
It seems counterproductive, but fighting oil with oil can be effective. Use a dollop of grapeseed or jojoba oil, and massage it into your skin. Wipe off oil with a hot, wet washcloth. Your skin will feel clean, refreshed, and soft.
2. Skin Softener
Use a teaspoon of coconut oil as a natural alternative to moisturizer. It’s gentle enough that it won’t cause breakouts, but it will still leave your skin soft and supple.
3. Body Scrub
Mix together almond oil and sea salt for a gentle scrub, or try this version with epsom salts. Make sure the consistency is gentle enough that the salts won't hurt your skin. Slather this mixture all over your body in the shower. You can also use this DIY scrub to exfoliate your lips!
4. Hair Revitalizer
Plop some coconut or olive oil into your hair, and let it absorb for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse it out with some shampoo. This treatment will leave your hair tangle-free and extra shiny.
5. Nail Strengthener
Heat up a small amount of olive oil in a saucepan, and pour the hot olive oil into a dish. Let it cool down until the olive oil is warm, but not scorching. Dip your nails into the oil and let them soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
The olive oil strengthens your nails and gives them a brilliant luster.  Consider doing this every time you remove nail polish—both nail polish and acetone polish remover can leave your nails dry and depleted of nutrients.

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
